With the guide's careful attention, you can enjoy the experience at your own pace

The setting is the magnificent Kitadaisetsu area of ​​Hokkaido.
As a cat skiing tour affiliated with the North American Helicopter & Cat Association, it has a reputation for thorough safety management by IFMGA/JMGA certified guides and North American-style operations.

In addition, the hospitable guiding is also a secret to its popularity. Due to the unique weather conditions facing the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, there is a high probability of encountering light, dry powder snow, also known as "silky powder."

Enjoy both open barns and tree runs

Day tours primarily focus on ungroomed open slopes, but depending on participants' skill levels, guides may also take them to tree areas. Tree areas are only entered after the guide has thoroughly assessed each guest's skill level and physical fitness, and a strong relationship of trust has been established between the guide and all guests.

For those who want to challenge themselves with a variety of tree runs, consider the 2-day tour. The 2-day tour is limited to skiers and snowboarders with tree-running skills. If you have little experience with tree runs or are unsure about participating, please consult with us first to discuss recommended dates. (There are no skill requirements for private tours.)

With many repeat participants, the tours are guaranteed to be a friendly and fun experience. Past tour reports are posted on the website, and they are filled with smiling faces from the participants, conveying the fun times the guides and guests had on the superb powder fields
